Ray was at home that morning when Dorris entered the room, her face sunken.
"What is it?", Ray asked standing up. Is she not coming from a friend's? Why this sad expression.
" I'm so sad", Dorris said and walk pass Ray to sit on the a sofa.
Ray followed her.
"Yes, it's written all over your face", he said.
" Why? Why can't I?", she asked.
Ray is not getting what she is saying.
"Dorris, can we be more direct?", he asked her.
She shifted on her seat to face him.
" I wanted to learn how to make some dishes so I decided to go to Ashley because she is a very good cook. That's why I decided to sleep over. We were making dinner and at a point Ashley stopped me from doing anything because I'm not so good. She asked me to just watch her cook...",
Ray cuts in.
"Aren't you learning? She should have let you fo it!", He said trying to curry favour with Dorris.
" You think so too. Then she asked me to take down a pot of soup from the stove. And I did...", Dorris paused.
"Go on", Ray told her.
She pouted then.
" And the smell was probably so good that I threw it down?", he asked.
"I did threw it down but that's because it is hot", Dorris said like a cute baby admitting a mistake.
" You didn't use a glove or a rag?", he asked her.
"I didn't know I'm suppose to use it", Dorris replied.
Ray almost laughed.
Like seriously?
" I think I need to scold Ashley. Isn't she suppose to tell you?", he asked.
"She tried to... But ot was too late. I spilled her soup", Dorris responded.
Then she added.
"Ashley asked me to stop learning how to cook and that if I insisted she knew a good school that teaches high school girls how to cook. She asked me to enrol in that school. She said she couldn't afford a student like me."
She started crying then.
"I want to learn how to cook for you. Is it too late or am I so dumb? I can do all chores but knew nothing about the kitchen. Will you leave me because of this?", she asked.
" I won't leave you for any reason. Don't worry about cooking. I'm learning already. I will be in charge of the kitchen. Just stick to the bedroom. Haven't you heard?", he asked.
"What?", she asked him, using the back of her hand to clean her tears.
" The way to a man's heart is no longer the stomach. It's three inches below the belly button.", Ray said and winked.
Dorris blushed.
"I will rather you learn how to handle my little long man down there than handling the kitchen", Ray added shamelessly.
Dorris had turned pink.
" What are you saying such vulgar words for?", she asked him.
"Dorris, did you know?", he asked.
" What?", she asked.
"You're pretty when you are blushing and when acting cute, you usually turn me on.
My little long man is fully awake now. You have to put him to sleep", he told her.
Dorris swallowed and blushed.
Ray added.
" Since I will be handling the kitchen now, you have to be more pro- active in the bedroom now. Yes or yes?", he asked her.
Dorris rolled her eyes.
Ray lift her up from the chair in a bridal style and he gave her a kiss on the fore head.
"Yes or yes?", he asked again.
She did not reply and he kissed het cheeks.
He started showering her with kisses asking.
" Yes or yes?"
When Dorris couldn't take it anymore. She muttered a' yes'
And Ray covered her lips with his immediately the three letter words came out of her lips.
